Pittsford Mendon captures first Sectional Title in 24 years
Class A Final: (1) Pittsford Mendon 7, (7) Eastridge 1
For the first time since 2001, the Pittsford Mendon Vikings are Sectional champions, thanks in large part to the tournament MVP, Cameron Barbulean, as the senior pitcher let up only one run.
With an early 1-0 lead, the Vikings pulled even further away in the second, off a Colden Forney two-RBI double, before Barbulean brought in one of his own, making it a 4-0 ballgame.
Eastridge would cut the lead down to three, with an Evan Bishop RBI single in the top of the third.
Defense reigned supreme until the bottom of the sixth, when another Forney RBI, a passed ball, and a Josiah Martin RBI would extend the lead to six, and give the Vikings the 7-1 victory.
Mendon will move on to face Section VI Class A champion Amherst Central in the state quarterfinals. That game will be played at Innovative Field this Friday at 4 p.m.
Eastridge finishes their season at 14-10.
